Customize Your Squad

Create and grow your own unique characters, expand your squad and train them up from insignificant weaklings into legendary warriors

Scrape By And Survive

You are not special unless you work for it. Survive your beatings, get captured by cannibals, sold to slavers or conscripted into armies

Explore The World

Set in an alternative fantasy swordpunk desert world, freely roam and explore a seamless 870 sq/km* world map, the largest in a single-player RPG since daggerfall

Build A Fortress

Build and expand your own fortress. Protect yourself and your people from the outside world. Make allies and wage war with other factions and clans

Start A Business

Purchase and upgrade your own buildings to use as safe fortified havens when things go bad, or use them to start up a business

Heal Your Injuries

Earn Your Way

The world does not level up along with you. At the start of the game almost everyone will be stronger than you, and survival will always be a struggle

CURRENT STATUS...

Updates will continue to focus on bug-fixing and stability for the near future, my goal is to get a reasonably stable version released before we carry on with major features. For this period Steam updates will be frequent- every day or two-, and the "Stable" and "Experimental" versions of the game will be similar. Once a stable build is achieved I will release a new standalone installer for the non-Steam folks. Most of our work will depend on the awesome players who send in crashDump files and buggy save games
